Re: Mother with Lupus

Hi, I have had lupus for over 13 years and know many people that have had it a lot longer!! Who said lupus was a terminal diease?? There are so many treatments available for treating lupus and most patients live a full life, or close to it, with treatment. Many people go into remissions for no apparent reason to never have it return, and some go into years of remissions with no treatment.(or with treatment) I have been on treatment for most of my years of having lupus, but Im still here and funtioning.Here is my web page on me dealing with having a chronic illness, (lupus). (attached URL)Maybe your Mom needs a second opinion.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx: Need help dealing with affects of lupus on my mother. The loss of memory, ability to do things, : and loss of ability to use the muscles on the left side of her body are hard to watch and accept, though: they shouldn't be. They say she will die in two years or less. Originally, she would have died last year.: Why do they keep pronouncing death sentences?: I know S.L.E. is a terminal form of lupus. Are there any others?
